AW: what do you suggest ?? I am on ICS
For ICS based Roms (XT912) have an look here
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/1171-Look-Here-For-All-Available-Roms#entry21091
Also you should have an look @ the Dev section of Droidrzr, there you'll find the Dualboot Method for ICS <>JB without apply the whole OTA. On that way you can always flash back to ICS and you'll be able to use all Roms in the List.
An best Rom is related to your needs. You'll have to find it by Crackflashing your Device or read the Threads.

I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

Click to expand...

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
hello everybody,
im posting today to ask if i can install any cdma roms and make them work with the gsm patch ?
if so what roms are compatible. and what roms do you recommend and why ?
im more on the battery life side. compared to all the other fancy stuff.
thanks guys
also guys how do i update my razr xt910 gsm from 2.3.6 gb to ICS i cannot find the guide
I have Straight Talk,
4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build
IMM76D.UCLF6
I also have SU and CM 5.5
Wondering what Rom will give me the best performance (battery a life +) , do I need to have a different kernel to upgrade to JB? What about a different BL , it was a royal time waster upgrading my Acer A500 from GB to ICS , Does it even matter being on Straight Talk , I mean just the ATT roms work fine , but I like to experiment , I dont want to go hog wild because this is the only fone I got right now and I need it , but a custom rom is always better!
Can you guys tell me about the kernels to roms and if I stay with a stock kernel can use what roms (I mean with 4.0.4 this ICS ,how do I go about JB?) i KNOW i FEEL LIKE A NOOB HERE, but its different ,plus Ive been doing winfone 7 for 2 years , just got to get back into it!
Hi Guys, I really hope this is the correct place to create this thread..!
I have been moving across various threads from different devs Eg- Neat Rom, Sotmax Stock Rom, Pardus Etc which are now being dominated by custom roms based on leaked 4.2.2 ME7.
The biggest issue i have come across is the OVERHEATING menace in the leaked firmware...
So instead of spamming the rom threads and creating more confusion let us post discuss fight and solve this heating issue here..!
Aim of the thread is mainly to see which rom heats or which doesn ..
While posting in the thread please follow these simple guidelines..
Name the rom You're using..
Did you do a full wipe or not
Does you're s3 overheat or not.
If it did overheat What steps did you take to cool it down?? Did those help??
Lets try and share individual feedbacks and see if we can help each other..!
PS- If this thread needs to be moved to the general section the mods can do there job
Lets get Rolling now..
NeatRom v5.2
full wipe
overheating simple no
Same here..!
Neat Rom by EPIC Sale..!!!
No overheating at all..!! No lags..! Normal-Medium usage 4hrs+ screen on and calling gaming a bit music also..!
Something heavily modified 4.2.2
Other custom roms 4.2.2 tested .
Full wipe always .
Does not overheat .
Does not lag .
jje
pardus rom.
becomes very hot from time to time. (during charging, gaming, browsing...)
did everything to cool down. but nothing helped. just got accustomed to it!

Hello Everyone,
I have some queries regarding my S3, I would appreciate helping me in answering them
1. Is 4.3 stable in general ( Regardless of the ROM ) !? , I mean was it released "officially" by Sammy and users around some parts of the world begun to receive the updates !?
2. Now I have been on "Android Revolution HD" for quite some time now , I've been on 29.0 (which I liked). But recently I updated to 40.0 (which I didn't like that much [ battery drain, lagging ... ] ) . Might those problem I've been having related to the fact that I didn't Wipe !? ( even though I was upgrading the same ROM )
3. In short words. what is PROS and CONS of flashing a custom kernel !? Cuz I'm thinking of doing that !?
Sorry if It's too much ,
4.3 is stable if you use the Chinese kernel. If you have any problem with a rom the first step is to full wipe and reflash. Custom kernel is personal choice, like the rom. Asking for recommendations is against the rules and will get your thread locked.

Thank You , I edited the last part out
so what does affect the battery operation more, the kernel !? or the ROM !?
The screen on time effects battery time most, followed by what the phone is doing while it's in standby. Custom kernels add tweaks for the enthusiast, to fiddle with things you can't with stock, but best battery life comes from disabling apps & services which run all the time. Rom is very much like a wife, you have to find one you can live with -the good thing about xda is you can try several before settling down.
